New rim option for the Air?

[xponents]

I know that on this forum we have forgot about the Air already, but has anybody noticed that for the 2026 Airs, a new rim option has been added? I saw it on an article about Lucid getting superchargers, and it is a 19 inch rim called the "Aeronaut." I searched the forum and didn't find anything about this, so please do excuse me if somebody has already posted about this. Interestingly enough, despite being the same tire as the normal 19 inchers, it has the same range as the 20 inch tires.

What do you guys think of the design? Personally, I don't like it. It really doesn't suit the Lucid, and looks more suited to a Honda Civic.

its probably cheaper.

It is 600 dollars more than the base wheel.

I think wheels are a very subjective topic.

I think it’s great they are offering another option in 19”. A lot of people disliked the current design but wanted the security of a thicker rimmed tire on the pot holed roads that cover most of America.

I think this will work wonders for those people who wanted another design than the flat disc of the 19” aero wheels.

Glad lucid is taking our comments seriously as they implement model year 2025.

Personally, I think almost any design would be better than the old(present) 19 inch which to my eyes looked very generic and unremarkable.

I agree this looks better than the old 19s. It's all that extra sidewall there that makes it still look generic and unimpressive. 21s are where it's at.

I like the new 19s. I still like the 20s best.

Worth noting, the Aeronauts will cost you about 35 miles of range compared to the Aero Range. Which is why they kept those old 19s around.

They needed a wheel that looked better and still allowed for all-season tires. These fit the bill nicely.

Would definitely pick these over the old 19” wheels. Wish they put the Lucid bear in the centers instead of the tiny, faint logo again.

Pretty snazzy. I like it.
